Shared Trip
Inshore Fishing
Professional guided inshore fishing trips with experienced captainsPremium gear and local expertise provided for all skill levelsSingle guest capacity ensures personalized fishing adventure
Looking for a solo fishing adventure that won't break the bank? ABC Fishing Charters has you covered with our shared rate card option for inshore fishing. This single-angler experience puts you right in the action without the premium price tag of a full charter. You'll be working the shallows and structure where the fish live, with a captain who knows every oyster bar, grass flat, and drop-off that holds hungry gamefish. It's fishing at its purest - just you, the guide, and some serious fish-finding expertise.
This isn't your typical crowded party boat situation. With just one angler on board, you get personalized attention and can fish at your own pace. We launch early to beat the crowds and hit the prime feeding windows when fish are most active. You'll be targeting structure-oriented species in water depths ranging from 3 to 20 feet, where sight fishing and precise casting make all the difference. The boat stays positioned perfectly for wind and current, giving you clean shots at feeding fish. Our captains read water like a book - they know when to work the edges of grass beds, when to hit the deeper potholes, and exactly where fish stage during different tide phases. Expect to cover several productive spots during your trip, adapting techniques based on what the fish are telling us.
We fish with medium to medium-heavy spinning tackle that can handle the fight these inshore species put up. Live bait is king out here - we'll have fresh shrimp, pilchards, and pinfish ready to go. Artificial lures come into play when fish are aggressive, with soft plastics, topwater plugs, and suspending baits all having their moments. You'll learn to work baits around structure without hanging up, how to detect subtle bites in current, and when to set the hook for maximum hookup ratios. The captain handles boat positioning and bait presentation tips, but you're doing the fishing. We fish both on anchor and drifting, depending on conditions and what the fish want. Circle hooks are standard for live bait fishing - they hook fish in the corner of the mouth and reduce deep hooking significantly.
African Pompano are the crown jewel of this inshore fishery, and they're exactly why serious anglers keep coming back. These silver bullets can reach impressive sizes - we're talking fish that push 20 to 40 pounds when fully grown. They're incredible fighters with long, powerful runs that will test your drag system and your arms. African Pompano have this distinctive tall, compressed body shape with a deeply forked tail that screams speed. They feed aggressively on small baitfish, crabs, and shrimp, making them perfect targets for both live bait and well-presented artificials. The best action typically happens during moving tides when they push up onto shallow flats and around structure to feed. What makes them so special is their unpredictability - they might crush a topwater plug in two feet of water or slam a live shrimp bounced along a deeper ledge. When you hook one, expect multiple runs toward structure and some serious head-shaking that can throw hooks if you're not careful. They're also excellent table fare, with firm white meat that's perfect for the grill or blackened in a pan.
This shared rate option fills up fast because it delivers premium fishing at an accessible price point.
